Chapter 1063: Chapter 1062: This Is Going Too Far
In the Great Swamp, it always seems to be the sa scene: rotting fallen leaves, corroded dead wood, and green bubbles rising on the swamp’s surface.
The surroundings are silent, even the demon beasts have hidden themselves, not making a single sound.
But suddenly, a shadow broke the tranquility here.
The man squatted down, poking a drop of blood remaining on the ground with his finger, and a cruel smile appeared on his face.
He walked forward, his body slowly disappearing, like a chaleon, concealing himself in the surrounding environnt.
As an assassin of the Yama Hall, he thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of chasing down prey.
Especially when he cornered his prey to the brink of despair, then savored the despair and sadness on their faces, it was the most wonderful thing in the world.
He tracked along the bloodstains and finally arrived at a thicket of brambles, where a white torn cloth hung on a thorn, clearly caught and ripped during passage.
"Heh, I can sll your fear; are you still going to hide?"
The assassin used the sword in his hand to gently part the brambles before him, indeed seeing a frail woman inside, her eyes filled with fear for him.
"No, don’t co closer!"
Chu Jiaojiao retreated in terror, but her injuries left her without even the strength to stand up.
"Haha, don’t worry, I’m quick with my hands," the assassin sneered, his eyes nacing, "I’ll peel that beautiful face of yours as a trophy collection."
"Co, let
appreciate your despair before death!"
But just after he finished speaking, the fear in Chu Jiaojiao’s eyes vanished, replaced by a slight smile on her face.
This made the assassin feel very strange, and then he suddenly realized that she had a backup plan.
Just as he was about to retreat, spirit patterns suddenly lit up beneath him, and a semi-circular barrier abruptly appeared, enveloping him within.
Moreover, it was only at this mont that he noticed that within the array’s range, there were thumb-sized black flas distributed throughout.
"An array? You wretch, you dare to harm !"
The assassin imdiately realized he had been set up, his longsword flew out abruptly, transforming into a long rainbow that stabbed directly at Chu Jiaojiao, making a sharp explosive sound mid-air.
Chu Jiaojiao’s face changed, she involuntarily stepped back a bit, but just at that mont, Chen Nan suddenly appeared in front of her, facing the whistling flying sword, and raised his hand to shoot out a Wind Blade.
Clang, the Wind Blade shattered, and the flying sword was also repelled, falling back into the assassin’s hand.
Chu Jiaojiao, her heart still fluttering with fear, hurriedly ran toward the outside of the array, and the Divine Calculator briefly opened the array to let her out.
At this mont, the array barrier was like a huge beast cage, where Chen Nan and the assassin were to fight to the death.
"Who are you? Why are you stopping ?"
The figure of the Divine Calculator appeared outside the array barrier, his plump face filled with creases as he smiled.
"Haha, do we need a reason to deal with an assassin from Yama Hall?"
"Junior Brother, leave this guy to you, he’s not worth
taking action!"
The assassin, despite being a Golden Core Stage Second Layer cultivator, was skeptical about what he heard when facing Chen Nan, who had only the cultivation of the Foundation Establishnt Stage Ninth Layer peak.
"Heh, do you think that the assassins of Yama Hall only know assassination?"
Chen Nan’s nonchalant attitude further enraged the assassin, who once again wielded his longsword, which floated above his head.
The next mont, the longsword suddenly split into two, then four, then eight, and within just a few breaths, hundreds of sword shadows densely appeared.
After that, the torrent of sword Qi swept towards Chen Nan, imbued with an incredibly sharp aura.
Yet Chen Nan didn’t even glance at the sword Qi. The Mo Ying Fla, previously set up, ca into play, and with just a thought, he lded his body into the shadows.
The next instant, he appeared behind the assassin, his body transforming abruptly into the form of a human-shaped Heavenly Fox, sharp claws like cruel hooks reaching for the assassin’s back heart.
The assassin’s sense for murderous intent had reached its peak, and without even turning his head, he easily dodged Chen Nan’s attack.
Then his body vanished silently, even his aura disappearing without a trace.
Chen Nan had seen this kind of Concealing Technique before and was very envious, yet he knew such a top-tier concealnt technique could only be obtained in Yama Hall.
While Chen Nan was tracking the assassin’s traces, he suddenly sensed a flicker of light to his left, and barely had ti to react before a longsword thrust towards his temple!
This silent strike, yet it contained a formidable impact force, as if to pierce through Chen Nan’s skull.
The Assassination Technique was also a kind of magic from Yama Hall, designed to unleash one’s strongest power in an instant, created specifically for killings.
Such a combo of Concealing Technique and Assassination Technique had claid an unknown number of targets.
But when the sword tip was just an inch from Chen Nan’s temple, it was like striking a soft yet resilient object, unable to advance any further.
Vaguely, the swirling wind from the sword’s whistling could still be seen.
Having missed the strike, the assassin did not engage further, retreating quickly, then hiding again from sight.
"Oh, you like hiding, do you? Let’s see how you hide next!"
Almost getting caught made Chen Nan quite displeased; he stomped his foot on the ground suddenly, and crimson-gold flas along with black Mo Ying Fla erupted beneath him.
The entire barrier was now engulfed in flas, forcing the assassin, who had used the Concealing Technique to hide, to reveal himself, swiftly caught by Chen Nan’s keen senses.
He rushed forward, first releasing the Void Breaking Sword, which easily pierced through the assassin’s body. However, for a Golden Core Stage cultivator, the damage caused by the Void Breaking Sword was sowhat limited.
Actually, the correct use of the Void Breaking Sword is to breach defenses, whether it’s a vestnt robe or an array barrier; as long as the cultivation is sufficient, it can break through!
But having acquired the Void Breaking Sword for so long, Chen Nan had mostly been using it as a concealed weapon, which might be considered a waste of its true potential.
"Too much bullying, do you know what the consequences of killing
will be? Yama Hall won’t let you off!"
Chen Nan sneered, not swayed by the threat at all.
"Once you’re dead, who knows it was us who did it?"
The assassin gritted his teeth, "Do you really think you can kill ? You’re just a Foundation Establishnt Stage ant!"
He clutched his longsword, surging mana coalescing upon it, causing the sword’s body to radiate a crimson glow, then the sword Qi lashed out!
Scarlet crescent-shaped sword Qi suddenly attacked, and Chen Nan narrowed his eyes slightly, summoning the Wind Roar Sword, the howling wind spiral coiling around the blade as he slashed!
Clang, the sword Qi shattered, yet Chen Nan still stood there, not moving an inch.
"No, you’re not Foundation Establishnt Stage!"
